The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are given. find the length of the third side. round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

legs: 28 in. and 15 in.

Since it's a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the thrid side.

Pythagorean's Theorem states that  where a and b are the measure of the legs.

So it's going to be .
784 + 225 = 
1009 =
c = 31.76

So the length of the third side is 31.76 inches
